What areas of (a) Dhekelia and (b) Akrotiri Sovereign Bases in Cyprus will be transferred to the Cypriot authorities as part of a new settlement in Cyprus; and what areas will be transferred to the areas controlled by (i) Greek Cypriots and (ii) Turkish Cypriots. [HL2316]
§ Lord BachAn offer to return areas of land currently within the Sovereign Base Areas of Cyprus formed part of the proposed settlement which was the subject of a referendum on 24 April. Regrettably, the Greek Cypriots rejected this proposal. The transfer of land will not therefore be implemented.
